Answer:
The sting of an ant contains formic acid. Therefore,when an ant bites, it injects formic acid into our skin and due to which we feel a burning sensation. As calamine solution contains zinc carbonate which is basic in nature.
Therefore, when we applied it on the skin it neutralize the effect of formic acid.
